- let the number be abcdef
c+d=b+f
e=2b
a=b+d
e=b+3
equate e's
2b=b+3
b=3;
e=6;
now we have c+d=3+f;
a=3+d;
assume d=1,then a=4;
assume f=2 then c=4;
the number is 434162

- let the digits be a,b,c,d,e,f.
A/Q; c+d=b+f....(1) , e=2b....(2) , a=b+d....(3) , c=2d....(4) , e=b+3....(5)
on solving (2) & (5): 2b=b+3 i.e.,b=3 & e=6
likewise substituting (4) in (1): 3d=3+f & frm above a=3+d.
on solving for d,we get: 4d=a+f
substituting value of d in a=3+d,we get: 3a=12+f
substituting value of f & d from above in (1): 2a=6+c
so finally the equations are : 2a=6+c, 3a=12+f, 3d=3+f, 4d=a+f
The min value of a to satisfy the equatn is 4.(as a=3 will not satisfy for 3a=12+f)
so put a=4 n solve for the unknowns.
a=4,b=3,c=2,d=1,e=6,f=0.
so the no. is : 432160
the no. can also be : 636366 for a=6

- let the number be ABCDEF
C+D=B+F
E=2B
A=B+D
E=B+3
equate E's
2B=B+3 => B=3 ; E=6;
assume D is 3;
so C=6;
C+D = B+F So 6+3 = 3+F ;
Therefore F=6;
A= B + D;
Therefore A=9
The Number is = 936366 - 12 years agoHelpfull: Yes(0) No(0)
